Schedule

Defines what is deemed to be contraven- tion of regulations, and is taken from section 4 of Ordinance No. 15 of 1903, which Ordinance with the regulations thereunder is repealed by clause 10 of this Bill.

Dorived from section 11 (4) of the Straits

Selllements Ordinance of 1930.

This provision is the same (except that "any regulation" is substituted for "these regulations") 28 Number eleven of the Live Stock Import and Export Regulations which will be repented by clause 10 of this Bill. It is considered more regular to embody such a substantive provision in the body of the bill rather than in a regulation.

Repeals 7 (6) of the Summary Offences Ordinance, 1932, 88 being amply covered by clause 3 of the present Bill.

Repeats section 72 of the Public Health -

(Sanitation) Ordinance as being cover- ed by clause 3 (1) (g) of the Bill.

Repeals the Live Stock Import and Export Ordinance, 1903 and all the regulations made under that Ordinance, because that Ordinance and the regulations are all of them directed to the prevention of cruelty, and it seems conveneient to include all the Hong Kong enactments relating to cruelty in one Bill.

Part 1 of the Regulations is the based upon the conditions of licences in the Straits Settlements Regulations, of 1931, relating to Animals and Bird shops, revised and redrafted to suit local conditions.

Part 1 of the Regulations is based upon the Live Stock Import and Export Regulations published the Regulations of Hong Kong 1844-1925 ab pages 303- 305 AR amended by Government Notification 596 of 26/9/30, published on p. 217 of the regulations for that year, revised and redrafted to suit present conditions. The references to the dimensions and mesh of the pig- crates and to the use of flatbottomed boats for the conveyance of pigs across the Harbour in regulation 8 are new.
